Edoxaban Tosylate Monohydrate Uses
Edoxaban Tosylate Monohydrate is used in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and stroke prevention.
How Edoxaban Tosylate Monohydrate works
Edoxaban Tosylate Monohydrate is a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) that acts to selectively block Factor Xa, a central enzyme involved in the coagulation cascade of the blood. Inhibiting Factor Xa prevents the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin, which is required for clot formation. This prevents the formation of dangerous blood clots in diseases such as nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Its targeted action ensures effective anticoagulation with consistent outcomes and fewer risks of specific bleeding complications than conventional blood thinners.
